Indeed Resume vs. Phenom Talent Experience Management (TXM) Platform

Indeed Resume has been well suited in areas where there is not a lot of traction or candidates to apply. It has been less appropriate in heavier areas where there are many more candidates available to apply on their own without the invite or having to search for their resume.

Phenom TXM provides an easy-to-use, well-flowing landing page to front our ATS (SmartRecruiters). It integrates well with SR and enables potential candidates to view our open roles across multiple locations, job types, and skill levels. It allows them to sign up to receive notifications based on their preferred criteria, and they can also save job listings they're interested in. Once set up, ideally, it works well. Any edits required are slow and costly - engaging with representatives from Phenom and resolving queries is time-consuming and usually requires multiple follow-ups. Because Phenom centrally controls the site, we're unable to make even small edits quickly.

• It uses boolean search functionality, which allows me to target specific candidates
• I like that it shows me how long it's been since someone has been active on Indeed
• The messaging functionality to reach out to candidates and have them respond back to you is very user-friendly

• I find it does not always recommend the best resumes to invite to the job we are recruiting for, based off the experience needed or job titles in the candidates resume
• I don't like how invites don't roll over into a new month if you don't use all of them in a said period of time.

• Reports turnaround times could be improved
• Can't change candidates statuses in bulk
• Slow customer service turnaround at times

For at least the time being, this appears to be where the talent is. They do an awesome job of getting the right jobs to candidates. As a user of the product for myself in the past the jobs that it sends me are 100x better than other tools

Overall it is the best product for quick searching and sourcing, but it is costly and prices continue to increase each budget year. We will continue to use it as it gives us the best conversion rate for finding candidates and hiring them over any other job page out there right now.

Candidate usability is fairly straightforward and the platform is easy to engage with. There are multiple ways to search and filter roles, including status, location (including city/individual location, as well as DC/Store/Head Office, etc.), role type, and department. Usability from a website management perspective is lacking due to the centrality of control over the content.

This tool allows you to do so much for such an affordable rate. If you want to scoop up your competition's talent, you can filter searches for resumes for people who have or currently work at their business. You can also you Bollinger searches for individuals who have experience with a specific type or word. And my favorite, you can set up search criteria that alert you of any new resumes with specific criteria so you are first to reach out. Highly Recommend.

Indeed Resume is by far the most popular product we use to recruit new talent. This is where everyone is and is the most widely known. I can have some luck with the other platforms, but nothing like Indeed Resume. As a Recruiter for a large organization, we needed a versatile platform, and from experience, nothing does that quite like Indeed Resume.

When comparing Phenom Talent Experience Management to Avature CRM: Avature aims very high, and sometimes gets lost in its own grandness. Phenom Talent Experience Management tends to be more user-friendly and accessible, with some more down to Earth features and functionalities. On the other hand, Avature allows for managing candidates in bulk, which is not an option for Phenom Talent Experience Management. When comparing Phenom Talent Experience Management to SmartRecruiters: the choice for Phenom Talent Experience Management was made once the decision had been made on investing on EB campaigns and building a talent community, as Phenom Talent Experience Management's capabilities are much better and broader.

While we don't need it to scale, I see how easy it would be to separate by departments and projects

• Some managers reported decreased time spent searching for applicants.
• This is another site to check for applications.
• If you want to make it work for you, it can: decrease time to hire, increase candidate responsiveness, but you are missing out on a large section of applicants, thus decreasing your applicant quantity and quality.

Incentivized

• Increased candidate engagement
• Broad customisation is leading to more sophisticated campaigns which should increase ROI
• Reports could benefit from some TLC, data integrity has been a concern
